Everyone is on a bicycle in this a-typical show, riding across space and time on the river of the Twentieth Century. The masks, our guides through time, take  the spectators by the hand accompanying them through the life of Fausto Coppi, the Champion, and Anifele, the African mosquito that stung him. It is the parable of a man gradually becoming part of each story. A story that is daily and heroic at the same time, with an ironic bite.
